Looking to Volunteer?

The KISS Institute is a small-staffed, not-for-profit company and only successfully runs all of our events due to the continual support of extraordinary volunteers! Are you interested in joining the KIPR community as a volunteer? Every year we need volunteers to help run Junior Botball Challenge Days, Botball Regional Tournaments, and our annual Global Conference on Educational Robotics.

Check out the calendar below for details about upcoming events that you may be able to volunteer for and then fill out this form to let us know!

Additional Details:

A Junior Botball Challenge Day is where students show their progress in computer science using hands on autonomous robots. Students work to complete as many challenges as they can. A variety of Challenges are provided so students at different skill levels will be challenged at their appropriate level. Students do not need to have any of the challenges completed before attending.

What does the day look like?A variety of Challenges will be set up on JBC mat. When students are ready to "conquer" the challenge they will go to the mat and attempt the task. They can do the Challenges in any order. Throughout the day students will be developing code, conquering challenges, and receiving buttons for completion of the challenge. You will also see volunteers and audience members cheering, and giving out high-fives. It's a very fun and relaxing event.

This is a student oriented event. Educators and/or parents should not touch the computers or the robots, even though they are permitted in the pit area.

There will be a designated hour for lunch each day. Lunch is NOT provided so please make plans to have students bring their own lunch or visit a nearby restaurant. There are several options, one being the food court in the basement of the MUC.

Additional Details: Carpool and plan to drop off equipment and then find open parking while the rest of your group is registering/setting up.
Please bring up to 4 people (including the at least one adult) to the workshop. Students will go back to their team and convey/teach all the information and skills they learn at the workshop.
Any questions after the workshop about rules needs to be address on the FAQ at www.kipr.org, team home base. We will only answer game related questions there.
This year we have included many different resources for your team on home base. You will see a mechanical build, ideas for structuring your team, PVC build and more.
Please make sure you bring devices (laptop, and charging cord) for every student, a power strip, and parts if you are reusing (list is included). I would also bring extra Legos, screws, nuts, etc. in case you want to modify your bots. You will also want to bring something to carry your new equipment home.

*At this time every Botball team should have access to their team home base, game docs, etc. When the team was registered you were required to create and username and password to set up the account. This is the log-in username and password for the Botball team to access all resources. If you set a personal password and would like to change it before sharing log in information with students you can visit https://www.kipr.org/sign-in (make sure you are logged out) and then select forgot password. This will send a link to your email where you can set a new team shareable password.
